Define Your Jawline Without Surgery, Downtime, or a Dramatic Transformation.
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are thin, dissolvable sutures placed precisely beneath the skin. When positioned along the jawline, they deliver two distinct effects. First, they create an immediate lifting action that sharpens the jaw angle and reduces laxity beneath the chin. Second, they stimulate a natural collagen and elastin response that continues building firmness over the following months.
At Formation, this treatment is performed in-office under a local anesthetic. Most sessions take less than 30 minutes. There is no general anesthesia, no significant recovery period, and no extended time away from your regular routine.
Dr. Gopal Grandhige maps each insertion point based on your individual facial anatomy before the procedure begins. Threads are placed with precision beneath the dermis to reposition tissue without disrupting natural facial movement.
Some mild gathering or skin dimpling may appear immediately after treatment. This is completely normal. It is part of the internal lifting process and smooths out naturally as the tissue settles over the following weeks.
Jaw PDO thread treatments in Tampa, FL typically deliver results lasting between 12 and 18 months. As the sutures dissolve, the collagen they stimulated remains, providing continued structural support long after the threads are gone.
The journey to a more defined jawline begins with understanding exactly what you want to achieve and whether FaceTite is the right solution. At Formation, we never rush this step. Our practice philosophy centers on treating surgery as a catalyst for transformation rather than an isolated event.
Formation was not built as a standard aesthetics clinic. Dr. Gopal Grandhige is a board-certified general surgeon with fellowship training in burn surgery, critical care, and advanced minimally invasive procedures. That depth of training brings anatomical precision and safety awareness that most aesthetic practices simply do not offer.
These qualities matter, even for a minimally invasive procedure like jaw thread placement. Thread positioning, tissue behavior, and the risk of over-treatment all require careful clinical judgment. Dr. Grandhige approaches every treatment with restraint, intention, and a focus on results that age well over time.
Formation intentionally limits the number of patients seen each day. Every consultation is personal. Every treatment plan is built around your specific facial structure, your goals, and your lifestyle.
You are not rushed in and out, and you are never handed off to unsupervised staff for your procedure. Dr. Grandhige personally performs every treatment. Formation also offers high-definition liposuction, liposuction, abdominoplasty, and other procedures for patients exploring broader aesthetic goals. Patients from South Tampa, Hyde Park, Westchase, and St. Petersburg regularly choose Formation because of this level of consistent, personalized care.
Patients who choose Formation for jawline thread treatments often describe the same goal: they do not want anyone to know something was done. They simply want to look more defined, more structured, and more like the version of themselves they already feel like inside.
One patient, a professional in his 40s, had always felt his jawline made him look heavier than he was. After jaw thread treatment, colleagues started asking if he had lost weight. He had not. He simply had a cleaner profile, more confidence, and a face that finally matched the rest of his body. He started getting in pictures again.
Formation holds a 5.0 rating with over 40 verified patient reviews. Dr. Grandhige trained at the University of Michigan Medical School and Yale New Haven Hospital. He holds board certification through the American Board of Surgery.
Everyoneโs anatomy and aesthetic goals are uniqueโwhich is why a personalized assessment is key.

1 Month Post-Op Transformation! ๐ฅ
Fixing previous surgical outcomes requires precision, expertise, and a tailored approach.
Hereโs how Dr. Grandhige transformed this patientโs core and chest:
The Challenge:
Previous tummy tuck left uneven abdominal fat distribution
High scar placement creating a visible โshelfโ effect
The Solution:
HD Liposculpture to refine and sculpt a athletic, masculine core and chest
Scar Revision to eliminate the shelf-like appearance and create a smoother profile
Keep in mind, at just 1 month post-op, swelling is still settling and we are nowhere near final results! Canโt wait to see this shape mature over the next few months. ๐ฅ
๐ฌ Questions about revision procedures? Drop them in the comments or send us a DM!
Trust the process. ๐ค
This beautiful tummy tuck transformation is only 1 month post-op!
What makes this journey even more special is where it began. Two years ago, this patient came to us wanting change but wasnโt quite ready for the operating table. Instead of rushing, we partnered with her for the long haul. Through the strategic use of GLP-1 therapy, dedicated nutrition guidance, and mindset coaching, she completely transformed her health to get to where she is today.
While she is already looking incredible, itโs important to remember that residual swelling and inflammation are completely normal at this stage. Healing takes time, but the foundation for an amazing result is officially set!
We are so incredibly honored to be a part of every patient`s unique journey, and we are committed to being with you every single step of the way.
Drop a โค๏ธ to wish her a continued smooth recovery!

Non-surgical jaw contouring with PDO threads addresses concerns that diet, exercise, and most injectables alone cannot fully resolve. Here is what patients at Formation commonly gain from treatment.
The lifting effect is visible quickly. Threads reposition lax tissue along the jaw and beneath the chin, creating a cleaner, more angular profile within days. The structural improvement begins right away, before collagen production even peaks.
Polydioxanone sutures dissolve naturally over several months. The collagen they stimulate continues providing firmness and skin support for up to 18 months after treatment. For patients who want lasting improvement without ongoing filler or Botox appointments, this is a meaningful distinction.
This treatment is designed for patients who want results that look completely natural. The goal is never a dramatic transformation. It is a cleaner, sharper version of the structure you already have. Most people around you will notice something is different but will not be able to identify what changed.
Most patients return to desk work and light activities within one to two days. Mild swelling or bruising may appear in the first few days and resolves on its own. Strenuous exercise and facial massage should be avoided for one to two weeks so the threads can settle into position properly.
Formation is located at 1315 South Howard Avenue in Tampa, steps from the South Howard dining corridor and a short drive from Hyde Park Village. Patients regularly travel from Bayshore Boulevard, Davis Islands, Carrollwood, Westchase, and St. Petersburg for care.
Tampa’s culture of health, fitness, and year-round outdoor living aligns naturally with what Formation offers. Jaw PDO thread treatments in Tampa, FL are a well-matched option for active individuals seeking facial refinement or body contouring who want improvements that hold up in real life, not just in photos.
If you are traveling from outside the area, Formation works with nearby hotels to coordinate a comfortable recovery experience. Dr. Grandhige visits patients in their hotel rooms during those early post-treatment days. There is no need to travel to the office unnecessarily.
Your profile says a lot before you say a word. If you have been living with a jawline that does not match how you feel, this may be exactly what you have been looking for. Dr. Grandhige will evaluate your anatomy, walk you through realistic outcomes, and help you decide whether treatment is right for you. No pressure, no sales pitch, and no shortcuts. Just honest, expert guidance from a board-certified general surgeon who takes your long-term results seriously.
Results generally last 12 to 18 months. As the sutures dissolve, the collagen they stimulated continues supporting the tissue. Periodic maintenance treatments can extend and build on your results over time.
A local anesthetic is used throughout, so most patients feel little to no discomfort during treatment. Some mild soreness or tightness in the days that follow is normal and resolves without intervention.
Dr. Gopal Grandhige, a board-certified general surgeon with over 15 years of surgical experience, personally performs every jaw thread lift at Formation. Patients are never handed off to unsupervised staff for their procedure.
Not at all. While Formation has a strong focus on men's aesthetic procedures, PDO thread jaw contouring is well-suited for any adult experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity along the jaw or beneath the chin.
Most patients resume desk work and light activities within one to two days. Strenuous exercise and facial massage should be avoided for one to two weeks to protect the results.
